RINGO: "It's great to be here. It's a wonderful to-do with music. For me, that's my life. At 13, I was ill, I was in hospital. They gave me a little, teeny drum, and I only ever wanted to do that for the rest of my life. And that's what's carrying on today, really, The Beatles' music is still out there and that's the thing I'm most proud of."

Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison and Yoko Ono accepted the award on behalf of The Beatles.
